Very true. I always check when printing to pdf. I've noticed in the |
| 69 |
past that it sometimes leaves out things as well. One thing about copy |
| 70 |
and pasting it into LOo, if it's there in LOo then it's there when I |
| 71 |
print. I have had printing from a web browser leave out things tho. |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
It's good info to have tho. |
